Last Listing description (July 2016)
This charming country cottage exudes warmth and character, and its rich history gives a solid sense of belonging.
If you re looking for a place that just feels like home, please, come along and have a look around; we re certain you ll love it here.
The home is set overlooking your gardens in the foreground, livestock and 15 acres of land, and an impressive sandstone escarpment to the East.
This property is steeped in history and locals have conveyed the story of the cottage being carted by bullock team to its current setting way back in the 1930 s.
It was shifted to Kangaroo Creek from Blaxland s Creek, the next Valley over the hills to the west. Remnants of the old bullock carts have been found in the paddocks of 1683 Kangaroo Creek Road over the years, and by all accounts, this equipment was once owned by Thomas Pitkin (the fourth) and his wife Eileen the proud owners of the last remaining bullock team on Kangaroo Creek.
Many years have since passed, and, as far as we know, the property has changed hands just twice. After fourteen years of enjoying the peace and tranquillity here, our vendor s family commitments in Sydney are calling, and as such the property is presented to the market with a view to sell within a short time frame. It is worth mentioning the care and attention our vendor has given to this property; her hard work and renovations have ensured there is very little that needs to be done here but for you to move in and enjoy your new lifestyle.
Let me tell you a little bit more about this wonderful home; there s much more than meets the eye.
In 2009, the house underwent renovations throughout, with modern appointments being added and the older features of the home being lovingly restored. An extension was added to the rear which created an open plan kitchen, living and dining area, and a wonderful back veranda overlooking the sandstone escarpment. A wood fired heater in the lounge area will keep you cosy all through winter and the insulated walls and ceilings certainly play their part through all seasons.
The cottage has three bedrooms; two of which are generous in size, and with reverse-cycle air conditioners in each for year-round comfort. One of these bedrooms has an adjacent room perfect for a study or walk-in robe.
A sunroom provides another place for rest and relaxation and the vege garden and chook pen will have you living that rural dream in no time.
Alongside the home is a two bay garage and carport, and there is an old 3 bay barn out the back.
There s a pump on the permanent Kangaroo Creek for you to access water for the garden, in addition to your 9000 gallons of stored rain water and the permanent dam for livestock to drink from.
And the rest? Well, you ll just have to come and see for yourself.
It s charming, it s rich in history, and it s got a wonderful warmth about it.
